Doug is close to beating the record for most perfect delivery days. As he nears the 951 day record the people he works with start to get jealous.

Doug and Carrie get in a fender bender with Deacon and Kelly, and the agreement for Doug and Carrie to pay for the damages to Deacon and Kelly's car causes problems between the two couples.

When Doug's first instinct is to use an oxygen mask - released accidentally during a plane landing - for himself instead of allowing Carrie to use it, she is upset, and he tries to prove that he would be willing to risk his life to save her. Spence looks for a new place to live when his rent is raised again and is surprised when Danny doesn't want to live with him.

Carrie and Doug go to her company's retreat, and Carrie, hoping to impress the firm's partners, encourages Doug to be friendly with them, which Doug finds difficult.

As Arthur is about to have his surgery he asks Carrie to bring him his sleep mask. When she is digging through his stuff looking for it she finds an old letter from Florida State saying she got into college. She never saw the letter before and starts to resent her father.

Arthur forbids Halloween to be celebrated in the house, and Doug, fed up with Arthur's demands, defiantly decorates the house with Halloween decorations, which scares Arthur into the hospital.
